How our visual sense and thinking work; how we see with language and how we are culturally taught to see; how our vision is like that of other animals and how it differs; how the construction of our brain and eyes determines our vision. What is the difference between what we think we see and what is optically present? How do we use different forms of vision, light based and use-based vision? How do we use our vision to explain our world and recognize it and make our visual guesses? How can new discoveries in neuro science and the biology of vision help us to see differently, more completely, and help artists to create images with stronger and more varied psychosensual effects?

The interaction of color with emotion, form, space and visceral sensation. The differences between memories color (intrinsic) and phenomenal color (observed) and how inextricable those can be will be explained. How does light change color, or rather how do we perceive color differently in different light, for example we use scoptopic vision for low light and Photopic vision for stronger light. How does our vision (foveal vision) determine which colors we see and which colors we see and which colors we miss? How much of our color perception happens in our eyes and not in the field of light before us; in other words how do we create much of the color we see? Exploration of all aspects of our experience of color and our efforts to use it.

Learn the secrets of dazzling sunlight through the principle of concentric darkening annuli, coronas, halation, backlit layered, and positioned clouds, sunrise to sunset and mid-day palettes. Learn to make skies vibrate with light and brilliance or, quaver with dark foreboding or, the promise of a departing storm.
